In this episode of the Mindsets Podcast, host Angus Cook, sits down with Tom Murray (@tomgmurr), host of the "Growth Game" podcast and a private wealth manager with a fascinating story. Tom opens up about his early struggles with body dysmorphia, how he found solace in fitness, and the seven years he spent traveling through various countries including Australia, New Zealand, and Thailand. He shares how living an extravagant lifestyle, bolstered by a large inheritance, led him to financial ruin—and ultimately, self-discovery.

Tom explains how he bounced back from these mistakes, transitioned into wealth management, and found a new sense of purpose in helping others avoid the financial pitfalls he once faced. We also dive into his unexpected rise on social media after his colleague started the viral TikTok account, @someoneiworkwith, which showcased his life in Kuala Lumpur and brought him significant online attention. Tom reflects on balancing a social media presence with personal growth, fitness, and helping others build a better relationship with money. Plus, a look behind the scenes of his own podcast, Growth Game.

This episode is packed with insights on overcoming setbacks, embracing fitness, and learning crucial financial lessons.

In this gripping episode, Angus sits down with Harry Mackarness, a former British Army reconnaissance officer, fitness entrepreneur, and mental health advocate. Harry takes us through his decade of military service, beginning in the Parachute Regiment, before transferring to the Light Dragoons where he served as a reconnaissance officer. He shares intense experiences from his military career, detailing the injuries and trauma he faced, and the struggles that followed as he transitioned back to civilian life.

Harry recounts the pivotal night on Chelsea Bridge when he almost ended it all, and how that dark moment became the turning point in his journey to healing. He opens up about how therapy, fitness, and ultimately quitting his corporate job to pursue a career in health and fitness changed his life. Now, at age 35, he’s taken a gap year to travel the world—from conflict zones like Ukraine to the beautiful landscapes of Southeast Asia—and is passionate about sharing his insights on resilience, living authentically, and pushing personal limits.

In this episode, we dive deep into the inspiring journey of Travis Owles, a former British trampolining champion turned Hyrox athlete with world-record ambitions. Travis opens up about his early years in gymnastics, where despite being told at age 10 that he’d never make it to the Olympics, he went on to become a national champion in trampolining. His journey took a detour at university, where the pressures of drinking culture and managing sports led to struggles with anxiety, eventually resulting in him dropping out. However, boxing reignited his motivation and became his saving grace during the COVID lockdowns.

After a humbling loss in a national boxing final, Travis vowed to never settle for defeat again. He went on to complete an ultra marathon on Mount Snowdon, pushing himself to new physical limits. This perseverance led him to the world of Hyrox, where his accomplishments have earned him recognition, despite being told throughout his life that his height would limit him in sports. Today, Travis is breaking barriers, chasing elite-level goals in the sport, and using his platform to raise funds for causes like Macmillan Cancer Support.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in sports resilience, overcoming personal challenges, and finding purpose through adversity.

In this episode, we sit down with Charlotte Matthews, a true embodiment of resilience and determination. Charlotte's journey is nothing short of extraordinary—starting with her dreams of becoming a professional footballer, which were dashed just a week before she was set to take up a scholarship in America due to a devastating ACL injury. Feeling lost and struggling with her purpose, Charlotte spiraled into a cycle of partying and neglecting her fitness.

Her story takes a remarkable turn when she discovers trail running while living in Spain, reigniting her passion for sports.

Despite coming terrifyingly close to death, Charlotte fought back, qualifying for the Hyrox World Championships in Nice just a year later.

Join us as Charlotte shares her incredible journey from rock bottom to the world stage, the life lessons she’s learned along the way, and the importance of savoring every moment. Whether you're an athlete or simply looking for inspiration to overcome life's challenges, Charlotte's story will leave you motivated and ready to face whatever comes your way.

David Goggins famously asks "Who's going to carry the boats?"

Don't worry David, Georgia will be rowing all of the boats, no matter how hard you try to stop her.

In this episode I'm joined by Georgia, a Great British and once fully able, para-rower who has persevered through not one, not two but three life altering incidents including a diagnosis with a terminal illness (MELAS) to get back to being a champion.

Georgia shares her story of incredible success as a young rower before her first incident where she beat the odds and got back to fitness and on the water competing again. Lightning struck again and again and she finds herself proving health professionals and seasoned doctors wrong, competing and winning to this day.

"Sport has kept me alive, and it's going to do it again". - Georgia Carmichael
